I have the d'lan hitch too and other than having to rust-proof it from time to time to hide the rust I like it alot. Spazz has it too and made mention of it's use as sort of a skid-plate when climbing rocks. I admit that Tone's hitch looks good too because of its O.E.M. look. Probably just a matter of personal taste in which you use.
As far as installation goes...the d'lan hitch uses 4 existing holes on the VX and you drill 2 holes for the 6 total. I bolted my hitch onto the 4 existing holes and used the hitch as a template to mark the 2 you need to drill. Then remove hitch and drill them out. Only other tough thing was installing the 2 bolts as they have to be dropped down through frame rails and out bottom. I removed rear plastic bumper...easy...and pulled bolts through frame with fishing line out through 2 holes you drilled....kind of a ball-buster..lol. Took like 4 hours of an afternoon to mount hitch.
